PL 101: Introduce Yourself! (Discussion 1)

GlenM June 29th, 2020
.

Welcome to our first course in the Leadership Development Program! I am very excited to get this going. This has been something we've wanted to do for the last several months and at long last it is here. Please find the course description below. Please also introduce yourself and let us (if comfortable) where you are from and a recent book or movie you have enjoyed. I'll get us started!

Course Description: You have personal gifts and strengths that can help you in life and also help other people. Identifying, amplifying, and deliberately building those strengths enables you to have a better personal life, professional life, and also enables you to more effectively serve others in our community. People sometimes make the mistake of focusing too much on their weaknesses. This can help, but deliberately building your strengths will get you much further in life and in your career. This course provides links to personality testing (MBTI, Big 5) where you can learn to identify your personality style and strengths. It helps you understand how to match your strengths to roles in the 7 Cups community and enables you to find a career path that will be fulfilling. Join other new leaders in individual and group learning exercises.

Please note: In order to successfully complete the LDP, you must respond to all discussion posts. Your comment/response should answer the questions/shows that you completed the given activity (if any). Read the post carefully and follow the instructions given. Save your responses to a document that you can later refer to. You will need to copy/paste your response in the course evaluation form at the end of each course to show that you have done the work and to refresh your memory.


After fulfilling the requirements of this post, please check out the next post here! You must take part in the brainstorming/activities given in all of these posts to successfully complete the program.

@GlenM

Hey! It's generouswings this side. I'm an 18 year old, who just transitioned from being a teen listener to an adult one. It has been a wonderful experience at 7 cups, and it has helped me in many different ways in real life.
Well, coming to introducing myself, I'd like to mention that I'm a high- school student. I have Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Economics, English and Physical Education as my subjects. I know it sounds a lot for a high school senior, but we have to take 5 or more subjects to graduate, so it's a lot of pressure. xD

Hope you're doing good too. Hoping to have a great conversion with you soon!
Take care❤️

Hello, I am Jehanzeb from Pakistan. I am a final year medical student at the time of writing this post. I like reading ( Sci Fiction, History, Fantasy, etc.) , listening to songs ( about spirituality, motivation and self belief ), watching movies (Comedy, Sci Fi, Action, Thriller ) , Playing games, Interacting with people from all over and exploring new things about myself every day.

Personal goals : I want to get better at my active listening skills and challenge myself to be more organized in life.

Professional goals : I am undecided between Pediatrician, Psychiatrist or Cardiologist so lets see where I end up.

Thank you for reading it ( I know it was long but I do not know how to introduce myself :P )

Cheers!

Hi everyone, I’m Penny (not real name), Im in California, for now. At the moment I am enjoying Sigmund Freud, The Future of an Illusion. Its a small book only 71 pgs but its part of a series, I am hoping to continue, once I get everything figured out and settled. Im not sure if I’m late to this but, it is something I am interested in very much. My father runs his own business but hasn’t progressed very far cus he lacks control when it comes to his finances. He enjoys luxury he cannot afford. Good leader, very persuasive, but not a very fair person.

Hello! I am Irene from Ukraine. One of the TV shows I enjoyed recently was The Good Place. It's fun and makes you rethink certain life views, especially your intentions...

@GlenM

Hello, my name is IcicleSnown. I am from the United States, and it is a pleasure to be here. One recent movie that I’ve enjoyed is “Wonder”, which I have seen before. I do recommend it because it is one of those inspirational films. It’s a film that shows how things really are in life, and that shows perseverance. I often misspell perseverance, but I try. I am determined to become a very good leader, and I’ll do whatever it takes. I’ll get to that “light at the end of the tunnel”.
